Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

        No you’re not. You are comparing this conflict with one of the worst campaigns of genocide in human history. You’re up-playing it.

          Well, I’m just saying what it really is: a underdeveloped, brutal dictatorship attacking democratic country in order to murder innocent civilians and commit countless war crimes while threatening the entire world with hunger and nuclear genocide. But I guess for you it’s not so bad and we should just look the other way.

            in order to murder innocent civilians and commit countless war crimes

            You think they do this “in order to murder innocent civilians”? Like this is the end goal? They just love murdering so much. And you base your political opinions on this genius analysis?

              What? You think they cry at night after all the murdering they do every day? They really hate it but just have to kill those damned civilians because otherwise Ukraine will join NATO? How many train stations and supermarkets do they have to bomb to stop Ukraine from joining it? Of course they started the war in order to kill people. Is this really a surprise for you?
